  • About The Fragrance

    American sagebrush, flowering white thyme and prairie switchgrass from the wild western territories. Perfect for robbing banks on horseback.

    "This is the fragrance that put us on the map in '08. A strange combination that used to be made with a homemade tincture of herbs, citrus peels and flowers. As I was learning how to make perfume, I experimented with many older methods. This helped me to understand the aromatic relationships between plants themselves. There is no better way to learn a skill than to just start doing it. That is the ethos of Cowboy Grass. Though it is strange, it was immediately a hit. Cowboy Grass is a play of contrasts. The freshness of bergamot with the dustiness of thyme. The medicinal notes of clary sage and basil against the softness of rose otto. And ultimately the dry peanut wood crackle of vetiver against the warm amber of benzoin.

    Cowboy Grass evokes the American West. The landscape is filled with grasses, herbs and shrubs that were used as medicine, food and ritual for thousands of years. It is impossible to describe just how big the Wild West is. When I first drove across the country on tour with a band in college, I remember one plant kept getting all over the front of our van. It was blowing everywhere that year. I found out later it was clary sage. I was shocked to see real tumbleweeds, the Rockies, the deserts, etc. Clary Sage is at the heart of Cowboy Grass. An herb once used for "fissures of the eye" or some ancient horrific malady, clary sage is pungent, whitish green, fresh and powerful. It can be pulled in many directions. In CBG the green grass notes are expanded upwards towards the top of the fragrance intersecting the rosewood-bergamot's red woody freshness. The grass effect is modified at the bottom where a rich mapley accord of vetiver and amber reside. The expanse of grasslands almost sacred to an American.

    Cowboy Grass is dirty-leathery. Not the warm aristocratic leather of drawing room sofas, but rather the saddles worn and ragged from years of use by riders who transversed the West. Perhaps there's even a nod to the ashy-oily scent of an antique Colt 45 revolver strapped within the seat. This may be what Mick smells like when he whines out the chorus in "Torn & Frayed" (part of the Stones epic "Exile on Main Street"--a masterpiece of American musical idioms). Side note. One time an Italian man who is influential in the beauty industry told me that Cowboy Grass smelled nothing of Cowboys."

Great fresh scent, perfect for spring and summer

Great fresh scent, perfect for spring and summer Always heavy in my rotation, and I always get compliments whenever I wear this. Smells really fresh, and certainly unique. It’s not so overpowering, and I get about 5-7 hours longevity on my skin with only 4 to 6 sprays. I tried layering with ‘I don’t Know What’ too, and that works like a charm A sleeper scent by Ds Durga in my opinion. Super underrated and you won’t regret a 100ml bottle.

Another great scent from this brand

I bought the set of 10ml to try as I really wanted to test out the fragrances. My partner and I have shared the box and this is one of his favourites as well as mine. It’s a warm grassy fragrance with a hint of earthiness - it’s not fresh or grassy in a typical way but more like a late summer evening when after silage has been collected. I’ve not tried any other fragrance like it and it’s not a typical feminine or masculine scent. Beautiful for summer casual wear.

vetiver and dried herbs

These cowboys must really be Ralph Lauren cowboys - freshly showered and immaculately turned out. It feels like a straightforward, scrubbed clean but pleasant vetiver. Well washed, with and some dry herbal notes, no earthiness or rooty elements at all. There is a hint of sweetness about this, but it is the dry sweetness of dried grass (hay) rather than sugariness. There was no discernable development or progression. It lasted 4-5 hours, never projecting strongly, after then remained a whisper on the skin. My partner and I both like vetiver and found this a pleasant, classic style vetiver, but not one to set the world on fire and I did expect something more interesting at this very niche price. If you don't get on with the more modern style of vetiver where iso E super adds a cold steeliness (e.g. Encre Noire, Terre d'Hermes), then this might suit you better. It reminds me of the original Guerlain vetiver, before they messed it up with too many reformulations.

Simple but beautiful

I'm not going to get too much into the scent itself because I think that is subjective and not helpful. Personally, I think it's a gorgeous woody fragrance that is comforting, like warm blanket. However, I will say that in terms of quality, this is wonderful. One spritz lasts the entire day (and beyond) and the scent itself is very well-mixed and smooth. I will definitely be back to buy the biggest size of this.
